For a creative person, a hanger can become a source of inspiration when decorating the interior of a room. Products made from these household items can perform not only decorative, but also applied functions. We offer 10 ideas for using clothes hangers for other purposes.
Instead of a traditional jewelry box
Costume jewelry is usually stored at home in a drawer or box. It’s not easy to find the right piece of jewelry; bracelets and chains get tangled and cling to each other. A wooden clothes hanger can serve as an excellent alternative to the usual storage method. To do this, it needs to be improved:
- drill a series of holes in the lower part using a drill and a thin drill;
- insert small decorative hooks into the holes;
- secure the hooks with glue.
Framed Photo Holder
You can use a hanger to make an original framed photo holder. This piece of furniture will look especially good with an old or aged photograph. The frame is simply attached to a hanger hanging from a nail driven into the wall. You can decorate wooden hangers using decoupage or patination techniques.
Shoe organizer
Both wooden and plastic hangers are suitable for storing not only clothes, but also shoes. The main thing is that it has a crossbar, onto which a row of tight clothespins is attached vertically. The shoe organizer is ready.
Hanging book stand
To make this device, only a wire product is suitable. It just needs to be given the desired shape.
Towel rack
Special towel holders are often unreasonably expensive. Instead of a special holder, you can successfully use a regular hanger with a crossbar in the bathroom. In this case, it will be easy to change the number of hangers depending on the number of towels needed, for example, when guests arrive. You can attach a small sticker to each hanger indicating the purpose of the towel or the name of its owner, for example, “for hands” or “Andrey.”
Organizer for glasses
Owners of 5-10 pairs of glasses will need a convenient organizer. They can use a hanger made of thin wire. Then it will be easy to find the glasses you need.
For magazines
A crossbar on which hangers with newspapers and magazines are placed can become a stylish part of the interior.
Scarf organizer
A regular hanger and curtain or shower curtain rings make a handy scarf organizer.
Wreath from a hanger
If you shape a wire hanger into a circle and decorate it, you will get a wreath that is convenient to hang on a door or wall.
Glove holder
On the hanger you can store gloves and other small items that are often lying on the shelf in the hallway. To do this, the hanger bar must be equipped with clothespins.
